Not only
are their priests mediators to supposedly unite God and man, these
priests also claim to be another Christ. When we search the New
Testament to find anything resembling ‘another Christ’, we come up
empty; unless you apply the terms Antichrist or false Christ.
When we
approach Scripture to examine what they teach, "to see whether
these things were so" (Acts 17:11), what do we find? Are their
words, their teachings contextually accurate and true in regards to
the Word of God? To the Roman Catholic Church they are true.
Never
forget, if you are His, "you are
A CHOSEN RACE, A royal
PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR
God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may
proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness
into His marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9; emphasis in the original
text). If you are His, you are included as one of His saints, one of
His holy ones (Romans 1:7; 1 Corinthians 1:2; 2 Thessalonians 1:10)
. . . you are of the royal priesthood. No special ceremonies
fabricated by man, no special ceremonies of ordination into a
priesthood governed by the rule of man are ever condoned or
encouraged in the Word of God. (see image #2).

"Has
Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were
you baptized in the name of Paul?" (1 Corinthians 1:13) "And
Jesus said to them, ‘See to it that no one misleads you. Many
will come in My name, saying, "I am He!" and will
mislead many’" (Mark 13:5-6). Do not be deceived, lifting your
‘hands’ to a man, placing him between God and us, is idolatry.
